As the mechanical advantage increases what happens to the length of the string you have to pull to raise the block?

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

Africtionless piston-cylinder contains 50 l of saturated liquid r-134a. the piston has a mass and an area resulting in an applied pressure of 500 kpa on the refrigerant. the refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70∘c. calculate the work (in kj) done during this process.

The frequencies refer to the sample data collected from a population of interest when performing a hypothesis test comparing two or more population proportions.
